And as airlines battle to cast themselves as the sleekest team in the skies, another brand has heard that complaint.
Engineers and ground operations staff will get their new uniforms in Spring 2023, while onboard crew and check-in agents will receive theirs in the summer.And to keep things relatively green -- at least, for an airline -- staff will hand in their old uniform for recycling or charity donation when they pick up the new. Around 90% of the material is a fabric mix using recycled polyester.
Boateng shadowed staff to get an idea of their movements and requirements before designing the line, while for the past six months, crew have worn the uniform in"secret trials" on cargo flights, while maintenance staff have worn them out of sight at the UK's Manchester and Cotswold Airports, according to a press release.
